| Relationship to the Balkans |
| |
Moderate forces in Greece want the nation
to become an economic leader in the Balkans; regressive forces want to fight
with Macedonia about ethnic heritage. |

| |
Recent moderation on both sides is leading
to some increased trade. |
| |
Issues over the status of the Aegean,
the continental shelf, free passage, still linger. |
| |
Cyprus is an ongoing flash point. |

| Tourism and terrorism |
| |
Some still link Greece to past carelessness
about security. |
